Jason Chaffetz is co-sponsoring the Birthright Citizenship Act, which mandates that citizenship only be extended to a child born in the U.S. when at least one of the parents is already a citizen. Chaffetz says that's not happening now. "You have two people, or one person that's here illegally and has a so-called ‘anchor baby,' and then they're given rights and privileges over others," Chaffetz said in a phone interview with KSL Newsradio. Chaffetz says it's something most Americans want. "They would agree and concur that becoming a United States citizen is something that should be afforded to parents, or a parent who is a current U.S. citizen," Chaffetz said.
